"From bestsimplerecipes.com. This recipe is so yummy. It makes a lot, though! To make this vegetarian, substitute one to two cans of drained, rinsed kidney beans for the ground beef."

The kids and boyfriend really REALLY liked this one! Keeper recipe for sure! I also had about 5 oz of velveeta sitting in the fridge I needed to use up so I melted that in there the last 5 minutes of cooking. Made it creamier and more cheesy flavored. I think also if I were planning on pot luck style service I might throw in some roasted corn kernels as well, the boyfriend mentioned without the macaroni it would make a great nacho topping! Feed all 6 of us and no complaints!!
